[quote=Anonymous]We monitor her phone (she knows, etc.) and I am 99% she identifies as gay. She hasn't told us yet. In another post,

I was accused of being homophobic and a poster blamed me for not having open communications and child thinking it wasn't safe since she hadn't come out yet. *This is the post where I asked about how sleepovers should work, after being pretty sure one person was more than a friend, & because our older, straight kid wouldn't be allowed to have opposite gender friends overnight.

I may be fooling myself but we are VERY open and verbal in our house (have been for a long time) about this issue and I think we have very open dialog. It's a little like being while and saying, "I have black friends," but gay rights are actually an issue we feel pretty strongly about in our family.

So there's something wrong with me for the fact kid hasn't come out? Am I really terrible and I don't know it? Totally homophobic? (And yes, I am feeling a bit ruffled and sad b/c I think it's not true but hey, I Also want to know the truth because of it I do have some sort of completely-hidden-to-me le homophobia that is the LAST thing I want my kid to feel...)
